Family Engagement Opportunities
PreK Celebrations of Learning (Expos) on May 17!
PreK students are excited to share their learning about Buildings and how buildings and communities shape one another over time. All PreK families are invited!
Through the Buildings expedition, PreK students explored the world of architecture and community. Through inquiry-based learning, students investigated the formation of buildings and their intricate relationship with evolving communities over time. From understanding the design and construction of buildings to reflecting on the unique characteristics of their school building, students gained insights into the significance of architecture in shaping our surroundings and fostering a sense of belonging. Through hands-on exploration and thoughtful reflection, students deepened their understanding of the built environment and their place within it.
